hey folks... just tried out an olderish mod.. airpower.. its got some nice looking models in it for jet planes based on different things .. a gun taht spawns them.. and ofcours efor fun it had a dragon in there..
SWEET.
the model looks pretty good but ive not had a chance to test it with anyone yet. the control system i have to say i think SUCKS. and the camera would be way cooler if you coudl make it appear behind the dragon and see yourself sitting on it.
as well as giving it a more USER type of control.. like in draken.. or jsut standard ut..
airpower 1.2 try it out to see what im talking about. latest files on fileplanet..
i was imagining for a sec .. air battles using dragons.. sword fighting form the dragons back.. OR:. crossbowing enemies from a safe howevering destiant and with a giatn 250 TON living fire breathing shield in front of you.

sleep time

Interesting...

Could be a very different kind of way to implement vehicles in our UT2004 version. Possibly invasion-only, a dragon spawns like a normal monster, but if you get a special artifact, the dragon is friendly to you. Then, if you have the artifact, and you jump onto the dragon, you mount it and can ride it around like a vehicle and breathe fire. We could use an enhanced version of the MUG flamethrower for the fire effect.

We'll keep it in mind and see what comes of it.

I couldn't fly with it :(
I entert a plain with use and tryded to fly but it didn't work also I couldn't get out te plain so I had to type suicide.

Only airpower was running and I used a map that was made for it.

i forgot to ention i was using the addon pack. the download should be about 18 meg for the base airpower. and 5 meg almost for the addon. i had to search google to find it on hellgamer or something like that. then configure the mutator to spawn a gun that would launch the summoning device ... put it on a falt area... then make sure your USE key is set right in your controls menu. err or just bind it.. i coudlnt actually find it in the controls meny..
read the txt it tells you how to get out and in...

also you need to speed up to begin with so forwards just slight as soon as you get in.. otherwise you cant steer.. the controls are clumsy. and physics dont seem wierd.. but it works. with a new control system for the dragon and hover modes for the shiops (at least for the robot kmodes on teh wones that support it.) would be a boon.. you dont HAVE to use a map made for the mod with the expansion pack if you set hte mutator right. but you will wnt to to at least be able to fly around.. not sure what else i cfan tell you :)

The latest version of AirPower is 1.5 w/ lots of new features added like behind view. Yes, it is still very buggy but still cool. There needs to be more servers w/ it on.
